Hori’s Wii fighting stick update: Japan pricing and (exact) release date

Wii fighting stick - Image 1About a month ago, manufacturer Hori gave out a news bit announcing that they were planning to release an arcade-style controller for the Wii console very soon. We’re letting the readers know that the company’s made good on their promise.

The Wii Fighting Stick has just appeared on the Hori official site with a set date of August 30, 2007, and is priced at Â¥ 5280 (US$ 45.50). That’s a little less than the 50 bucks that will cost players when the Fighting Stick gets its North American release this November 6.

Other controller features we spied when we checked out Hori’s site include auto-fire features for each of the buttons. The Wii fighting stick is activated by plugging it into the Wiimote, much like you would with the classic controller set. Just the thing for every Wii owner’s growing compendium of Virtual Console titles.
